I wonder, why do you think people have taken to Artorias so well, yet Erdrick seems quite decisive to say the very least? That seems to be a trend I have seen, even with people who don't trust the leak or have even heard of Artorias before the leak.

I should be more excited about posting this, but:

I'm now five subscribers away from hitting 5000 for the first time, and I just learned last night of a 30000 sub Youtuber making reaction videos to our stuff. I guess we're kind of in the big time, maybe. Who knows.
You should need just four now :)

Tagging Noipoi Noipoi , @ShinyLegendary, and Guh-Huzzah! Guh-Huzzah! since they seemed interested:

Clay Bricks
Various Building Blocks
Flowers
Leaves
Wool
Stained Glass
Cave 1
Cave 2
Desert
Snow
Forest

The pack was heavily inspired by Earthbound and Mother 3, along with some SNES era SMB and Zelda thrown in. I was planning on calling it "Super Saturn Land" because of the Mario and EB influence, and I also planned on having a little mascot character for it:

All in all, the sprite art here is pretty rough and kinda bad. I know I could do a lot better now if I ever wanted to give it another shot. Maybe I will, maybe I won't: Depends on if I find the time among other things I enjoy doing.

Easy.

One's from a franchise that a lot of Smash players have never heard about(+anime design)

The other's Dark Souls and looks bad ass.


Yes, the Smash Bubble can be this petty.

like google leak is fake for two reasons:
  1. the searches only pertained to exact terms ("artorias super smash bros ultimate", "artorias smash bros ultimate"), instead of the real joker ad coming up on "joker", "super", "smash", "bros", and "ultimate" in any order (because exact phrases cost most less to put ads on than commonly-used words)
  2. the ads have gone down as of today because it was probably getting too expensive on the guy
but ****ing hell do i want artorias now
Lucikly he's been "leaked" before Google (as part of Fighter Pack #2, even) so don't give up hope. :p

dark souls is much more popular in the west than dragon quest

that's about it

This is weird
It relates to infraction points; if someone has 3 or more active points they go under "posting probation" (which is how they lock people with too many infractions out of the competitive boards), and that affects things like the name colours for premium and pranked users.

So I think it’s fair to say that if Koei Tecmo and SNK got representation in Smash, Ryu Hayabusa and Terry Bogard would be the ones representing them respectfully. If Arc System Works were to make it, do you think they’d be represented by Sol Badguy or Ragna the Bloodedge?

I would argue Artorias is also pretty anime(The Guts comparison exists for a reason), but that makes sense. I partially think people have also been silently wanting this sort of berserker character.

I bet since Erdrick wasn't a super popular choice, a more beloved character by comparison seems more palatable to many.

There have been a lot of “Smash bubble” things this time with DLC. But we’ll see how it all turns out.

Either way, there will be some sort of surprise with one of the picks. I feel that for sure.

Erdrick- Anime, therefore bad
Artorias- Berserk, the one anime edgelords won't call you out for watching because it's dark and edgy and gorey.

Sidenote I ****ing love Berserk and need to buy more of it. Don't like the use of the F slur in one chapter though, even if it was at Griffith's expense

Because Erdrick is another generic swordfighter. Duh.

to play devil's advocate, it's just as much a possibility that the original 4chan poster was the same guy who set up the google leak to give the idea more traction

that said, i do think that if we get a namco rep, it'll be souls

There was a problem fetching the tweet
Ah, good to see that after MM11, MHW, RE2 and DMC5, Capcom is back to their old tricks again.

Setting it up 3 months later just for one character?
